Wow LCM scores 40 in a half. Must have been really shooting it

Pot calling the snow... Nevertheless, those Ls just seem to find you anyway

Exactly

I know who made phone calls and to whom. Believe what you want my man. I really don't care. Like I said...

I have confirmation myself and I don't need to violate a confidence. Especially since it came from Austin. But believe what you want to believe, mamba my man. They say ignorance is bliss....

29 all. End of 3rd

I assumed everyone knew the other one. They made no bones about it

What the hell is so difficult to follow with this story? I would be happy to leave Ozen out of it. Unfortunately, some inserted themselves in it. Not me. And couldn't agree more. It's just basketball which is why I find it sad some spend so much effort keeping a kid off the court. But at this point, the poor dead horse is getting abused. If you haven't clued in (or been clued in) by now, probably ain't going to happen. Like I said, to this point, the only losers are the kid who can't play, and the ones who can't seem to get that dub even when he can't

Sorry, I forgot you guys don't mind if they don't even actually live in your district

He moved in with his mom. So no biggie. But the Panthers have had a few transfers (move ins and just plain old transfers). BISD, on the other hand, is pretty much play where you want so for any of them to complain is pretty laughable.

What is ignored is that the kid was and is thousands of miles away from his family and was stuck in a bad situation with no school to attend. He was taken in, clothed, fed, and enrolled in school. Kind of sounds like a hardship situation to me. The DC obviously agreed. Couple of schools, consumed with trying to beat the school, brought in the wahmbulances and he has been relegated to watching. Unfortunately for the cryers, they have posted a big ol' doughnut in the win department against the Jags through the first few contests. But hey, no doubt your losses were a little closer than they would have been so congrats!

If there is a 4A program in Texas with more talent than Silsbee (and by more, I am talking numbers), I would have to see it. I don't think such a school exists. Mainly because I'm not sure I have EVER seen one with more quality talent on campus than Silsbee has right now. Add to that the fact that the kids stay in the gym year round, and are well coached, and you have a recipe for success. HJ, on the other hand (or same hand), also is plenty talented and well coached. Which is why this continues to be a competitive rivalry.

Ditto. I would have set the line at Silsbee as a 5-7 point fav, and only because of the nature of games and free throws seldom keeping a final score super close. Saladin and Parquet are as good as anyone in the game and Roberts is the best "big" in the district. The question to me in this game is how much Silsbee's depth affects HJ. We shall see. I like the Tigers in a close one.

I thought we were talking about this year. But thanks for the history lesson of games from when Chris was in diapers. As for the games that he COULD have been a part of, that scoreboard shines a little bright...

Welp. Easy there Winwin. Give the man a chance to breathe...

No worries Dickie V. Ozen's been taking those Ls with or without the big man. Justice has been served. Or in the Panthers' case, exposed

HJ has a rich history and tradition of which they are justifiably proud. Until Silsbee gets it done, they can only look on in envy. The good news is the Tigers have the kind of talent to grab one of those elusive titles. But they still have to get the job done. As it sits, HJ gets to look at their 3 trophies while Silsbee dreams of getting their first. As for the game tomorrow, I expect it to do the rivalry proud.

completely understand your point and the opposing view. Just a personal view of mine with polls. Obviously, they isn't any science to them. Just opinions

I always find head to head to be the most telling. Silsbee beat Central. Central beat Ozen (now twice). I've had these 3 in this order for weeks now...

Agreed. And there isn't a huge disparity in the first 7 or 8 from HJ and Silsbee. I would safely bet Silsbee has more quality depth than any team they've played this year. And 5 have beaten them. Add the rivalry aspect of this game and this is why way more often than not, the game is decided by single digits. Having said that, the Hawks really need Eli healthy. That is one huge advantage Silsbee has. HJ doesn't have the luxury of being able to easily replace a key starter.

Nijal hit the three to start the game and then shot several more after that with no makes. I would sag on him too. Phillips was off and only hit one out of several attempts, although it came at a crucial time towards the end. But he can normally shoot it. But he is by no means the only shooter on the team. From what I understand, the Arceneaux kid has been knocking down the three ball pretty consistently all year.

The weaknesses are largely individual. Thus, I really can't go into specifics. However, I can say I'm not the only one who has noticed.

To an acute basketball observer, they were glaring. I'm not going to tear down any particular players on this forum. If you can't see it, we all understand
